I loathe Newt (see NY-23). Newt is as bad as McCain. Crist is better than those two. Crist is toast and no Bushes thank you. GW could have been a great one.
I like Sarah but she lost me with despicable McCain.

Bachmann (awesome)
Coburn
Ryan
Ken Cuccinelli (VA) - VA is turning out lots of good ones.
Chris Christie (maybe not socially conserv enough)
Steve King from IN?
Marco Rubio (if he is tough on immigration)
Probably a bunch more I am forgetting. I do not hate Ron paul like some others do but not a huge fan either.
Issa from CA also has the fire in his belly. Tom McClintock from CA. Jim DeMint form SC.
Just get the horrible RINOs out like McCain, Graham-nesty. We have a lot of good people including Boehner.
RINOs like McCain and Graham undermine us at every turn along with the lib newsmedia and FOx is only marginally better now.
I love McClintock (as he took over for Doolittle, my old dist.) but he's less likely than any you've named.
Issa's just beginning to fight and we all know the track record of congressmen running for Pres.
I don't actually see a viable candidate in your group even though I like some of them.
10 of the 40 GOP Senators have a lower ACU rating than McCain (Brown of MA hasn't been rated yet). 19 Senators have a lower rating than Graham. Should the others go, too? Some pretty interesting names on the list with ACU ratings lower than Graham.
Just askin', and for the record, I hope McCain loses the primary.
